Is it possible to control cell names in GDS during streamout?

Discussion in 'Cadence' started by Reotaro Hashemoto, Jan 26, 2009.

  1. Hi,

    When i make normal stream out with default settings from VLE, cell
    names in GDS are no longer formatted as in LE. How can I force the
    stream out engine to write cell names in GDS with specific format
    like: libName_cellName_dbID for example? What should I do to get
    similar results?

    Thanks,
    Ahmad

    Search for poCellNameMap in the documentation. This is a function that you can
    write, and give to the stream out command (there's an option on the form to
    specify a SKILL customization file) to change the mapping of cellNames.

    There's also a separate control for pcells, called "Pcell Suffix" (or
    "pcellSuffix" in the template file) which allows various things to be appended
    to the cells produced for each pcell variant. This is also in the same manual,
    the "Design Data Translator's Reference", or <instdir>/doc/transref/transref.pdf
    for the hard-of-cdsdoc.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
